8 kilos. Yes, that is right. You read correctly. 8 kilos is what my backpack weighed at the airport. That is all I will have from home as I set off to start my 4.5 month adventure as a newly fledged backpacker.
My list - obviously, was rather short. An all weather 3-in-1 jacket (pink - do fashion/clothing companies not have any colour other than pink for females?!). Hiking boots (well.... let me correct myself, cross-country running shoes with an identity crisis). About 3 sets of underwear, 2 bikinis, a sarong, 2 light dresses and 1 pair of shorts, jeans, jeanskirt, 3 tshirts and longsleeves. Bingo! Easy! Light as a feather and free as a bird...
So.... Let's see what i collect along the way... Will keep you updated. Number 1 on the list - havaianas - or as some of us like to call them - flip flops!
How much would your backpack weigh? What could you live without? And what are those items you absolutely cannot leave behind?
interesting questions!
